Answer 1 :
Why are you asking here? AMR has a site with job postings. I assume you know that if you work for them. http://www.amr.net/
Answer 2 :
From what I understand, all Seattle 911 calls are handled by the Seattle Fire Department. They actually put any newly hired paramedics through their own paramedic training school. Seems like a really big pain to me. They have a really good reputation, though. You might try getting a job with a non emergency transport service, but what fun is that? Other counties in Washington state will use private ambulance services. You just have to ask around and find out which counties are hiring. There's always jobs to be had as ER techs in local hospitals. Hope this helps!
Answer 3 :
There is plenty of Paramedic Work in Seattle.
Answer 4 :
AMR does not have Medics in Seattle they have the contract with the city to provide BLS only. AMR and Rural Metro in Tacoma hire Medics activly. Also AMR in Spokane hires Medics for its 911 contract. You should find work other than AMR. AMRs leadership team is a train wreck.
